To @113 whom it may concern:

Be it known that I,-HEN'RY S. Bnew'mo- Tomacitizen of the United States, residing at Baltimore city, State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Paper Containers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to receptacles or containers specially adapted to contain solid, pulverulent, granular, liquid and semiliquid substances- An object of the invention is to provide a receptacle or container of simple and inexpensive construction which may be readily formed from paper, Wood pulp or, if desired, a more durable and stronger material such as metal.

Another object is to provide a receptacle formed of a single piece or blank and con- .sisting essentially of a body and ends, the

latter being greatly strengthened and reinforced by the peculiar formation thereof.-

With these objects in view, the invention consists in the improved-construction and arrangement of the parts of a device of the character specified, which will be hereinafter fully described, and afterward specifically claimed.

In order that the construction and operationthereof may be readily comprehended, I will now proceed to fully describe my inyention' in connection with the accompany- 'ing drawings, which illustrate an approved embodiment thereof, and in which W g I Figure 1 represents a vertical central sec tional view through the receptacle, Fig. 2 a side elevation partly in section showing the upper end artly open. Fig- 3 a bottom plan view, an Fig. 4 a fragmentar sectional view of a modified means for c osing the end of the receptacle.

Like reference. characters mark the same parts in allthe'figures of the drawings,

wherein the numeral 5. indicates the body portion, which is here shown cylindrical but may be formedrin any desiredshape and with or without seams.

The body portion 5 maybe formed of any desired length, and the end portions 6 thereof are turnedinwardly on a circumferential line spaced adistance from the extremities of the body, and representing the-radius of the receptacle. The-inwardly turned portions 6 at the ends of there. ceptacle are folded or crimped so that nor v. Specification of Letters Eateat. Patgfltgd Jam, 119 119315 Application filed m 5, 1913.

mally, or when unsecured, they assume the posltion shown at the upper end of the re ceptacle in Fig. 2. H

Various means may be employed for securing and sealing the folded ends 6, and in Figs. 1 and 3, I have shown the employment of a suitable rivet or plug 7 which may be formed of metal, wood-pulp or any other suitable material and is headed at either end. After the rivet or plug 7 is inserted in the central opening of the ends, it is obvious that the diametrical measurement thereof will be materially increased, and consequently said ends are arched or bulged inwardly, as clearly illustrated in the sectional view of Fig. 1. Such bulging of the ends materially increases the strength and rigidity and insures against outward exertions of the contents of the receptacle. A

circular partition 8, shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1 may be employed if desired, said partition engaging over the apex of the ends and consequently directs all exertions or strains from within thereon. Preferably, I employ a fastener or plug 10, of wood or other suitable material, in place of the rivet or plug 7 at the top of the receptacle for distance from the extremities of the latter than the ends of the receptacle shown 1n the above described figures, whereby the ends of the folds will lie in abutment when said ends are bulged inwardly as shown. For securing the ends thus formed a suitable adhesive may be employed, and for protecting the adhesive from the action of the contents of the receptacle. a partition 9 is preferably employed.

While I have specifically described the exact construction and arrangement of the component parts of my invention, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art to which the invention-mest-nearly. appertains, that slight changes and variations maybe made therein, within reasonable limitations, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Y Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is 1. A receptacle consisting of a body portion having ends formed integral therewith continuously around said body portion, said ends being crimped to afford corrugated ends which when turned inward toward the center of the receptacle clusters the free ends of the corrugations in close relation and in vertical lines, the sides of the corrugations gradually changing from a vertical to substantially a horizontal position from the cluster to the edge of the receptacle, and means for securing said ends in a closed position bulgin inwardly.

3. A receptacle consisting of a bodypor: tion havin ends formed integral therewith continuously around said body portion, said ends being crimped in parallel lines to afford corrugated ends which when turned inward toward the center of the receptacle clusters the free ends of the corrugations in close relation and in vertical lines, the sides of the corrugations gradually changing from a vertica to substantially a horizontal position from the cluster to the edge of the receptacle, and means for securing said ends in a closed position.

4. A receptacle consisting of a body portion having ends formed integral therewith continuously around said body portion, said ends bein crimped to afford corrugated ends whic when turned inward toward the center of the receptacle clusters the free ends of the corrugations in close relation and in vertical lines, the sides of the corrugations gradually changing from a vertical to substantially; a horizontal position from the cluster" to the edge of the receptacle, and means for securing said ends in: a closed position bulginginwardly,,and a partition n said body .;portion-adjacent to one of said ends. p v v 5. A receptacle consisting of a body portion having ends formed integral there with continuously around said body ortion, said ends being criinped to a 0rd ends which when turned inward toward'the' center of the receptacle clusters the free ends of the corrugations in close relation and in vertical lines, the sides of thecorrug'ations gradually changing from a vertical to substantially a horizontal position from the cluster to the edge of the receptacle, and a removable means having a handle for securing said ends in a closed positionQ- 7. A receptacle consisting of a body por-' tion having ends formed integral therewith continuously around said body portion, said ends being crimped to aflt'ord corrugatedf ends which when turned inward toward the center of the receptacle clusters-the free ends of the corrugations 1n close relation and in vertical lines, the sides of the corrugations gradually changing from a vertical to substantially a horizontal position from the cluster to the edgeiof the receptacle, and means for securing said ends in a closed position embodying a plug inserted between the clustered ends of said crimps which prevents an outward movement of the ends of the receptacle against other than a positive force. I

8. A receptacle consisting of a body-portion having crimped ends which are inte ral throughout their entire area, the crimps in said ends being 'formed with abuttin edges which when brought into contact wit each other by folding the ends inwardly form a complete closure, and means for securing said ends in a closed position embodying a plug having spaced flanges for engaging the inner and outer sides of and inserted between the abutting edges of said. crimps which prevents an outward movement of said ends against other than a postive, force.
